C'mon, you missed the greatest Steve Jobs quote ever, which he said while trying (successfully) to recruit John Sculley:

"Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life or do you want to come with me and change the world?"

All the best to you, Mr. Jobs, in the days ahead.

In my small role as part of the teams that made the original portable Mac and the first app store for Apple products, now over twenty years ago, Steve Jobs was a towering figure that commanded respect. My life changed for the better.

Today, we can see Jobs has played a leadership role not just at Apple, but for just about everyone who has contributed to or participated in today's connected economy. It's not that he was smarter or more clever than anyone else, but he always seemed to bring out the best in some really talented people.

Saw Jobs at the Aspen Design Festival the year it featured Madrid Design. Dressed in jeans and a bomber jacket, he bounded up on the stage and started to go on about where Apple was taking technology. An amazing presence and off the cuff presentation.

My favorite quote comes from 2008 after the shaky launch of MobileMe (the predecessor to the iCloud service that is being launched next month). He gathered the team in a room after a town hall and asked the following question. "Can anyone tell me what MobileMe is supposed to do?" [response from engineer] "Then why the f*** doesn't it do that?"

That philosophy underlies every product that the company puts out. Products do what they are supposed to do, and people are held accountable for ensuring that. Apple's ability not to just dream up the next product, but to bring it to fruition set it apart.

He definitely changed things, and not just in the computer industry. I think a constant dissatisfaction with the status quo makes him want to reach for something better. And also, trusting his ability to anticipate what we wanted before we even knew we wanted it. i.e. the iPad. Creating a market for a product where none had existed is quite a feat.

Best of luck with his health issues. I'd like to think that a long sabbatical and treatment is the answer here.

It's the state of our thinking, sadly, that in a tribute to his thinking with a list of outstanding quotes from possibly the most innovative industrial icon of this century, and some say of previous, there are still people who use the moment to promote another product, as the Google enthusiast just posted. "Power and simplicity" is what Apple is known for, hardly trumped by any product for any age group, from two year olds to ninety plus elder users, but even taking time to call attention to this kind of thinking seems wasted energy.

Steve is the disruptive innovator of our time.
Clean and crisp products...and clean and crisp messages.
One word presentation slides that said it all. And always..."one more thing."
What other CEO would come out with the 50th mp3 player on the market, a music store that sold songs for actual money, and realize that combination would beat out stolen music...as long as songs were 99 cents. And be right. And ultimately own the market for music and players. Even writing this...it all seems surreal.

Polarising the content of Steve Jobs' quotes, one can see why he is such an inspired man. His values are sound and grounded; his visionary eyes focused on beauty,form and function - its no wonder that he has led his life driven by meaningful purpose. A divine spirit more than a businessman. As someone who started her programming career in an era of no-internet and no PCs - and who is still working in IT industry 33 years later - I have seen many landmarks in the innovation of technology - but there was only ever one Steve Jobs. His resignation is sad - but what a legacy the man leaves! We can all wish we will all one day be able to say the same.

Steve is correct when he says a great company like Microsoft produces third rate software. I love Excel and Word is pretty good but plenty of their other products take 3 to 5 iterations ie (public beta) before it truly becomes intuitive and easy to use to produce great results. I dream of a day when Microsoft will spin off a skunk works division of brilliant minds and let them create really great products. I know they have smart engineers up there in Redmond somewhere, they just never take the collar off and let them run. Live long Sir Steven of Apple!

Isn't there an app for the hole missing in the world now?

Here's a Steve story from the book, Nature's Secret Messages: Hidden In Plain Sight:

“Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple, often challenges workers to go beyond their everyday thinking.

One day, he was so upset by his employees’ lack of creativity that he grabbed a chair and started hammering it against the wall and used so much force that he smashed a hole big enough to see into the next room. He dramatically made his point: there’s more beyond the four walls of a room and the “walls” of our minds.

Jobs shook up our reality in order for us to “Think Different,” as the Apple slogan goes.”

His products are sorta like another body part for lots of people, "can't live without them." I see it all around. I am also truly touched by his insightful way of thinking more than anything, and know that he has had many deep moments of reflection. I will keep his quotes and refer to them frequently for inspiration, and not take this life here on this earth for granted. I am going to go full throttle.

Such a life, such accomplishments, such grace. The passing of Steve Jobs prompts a sad but also potentially comforting pause to reflect and realize with all humility the truth of the saying, "We stand on the shoulders of giants." I know for me that this sadness will dissipate soon enough, as moving-on presents no overburdening challenge as I never met the man. But I have known of and felt his presence as a contemporary who I observed with admiration and respect. I take comfort in sensing that the challenge and the oppportunity Mr. Jobs now puts before us is to see what value there is in all we are attempting in our lives, to remain inspired, if we are, by his example, to build on his accomplishments through our talent and effort, to create a legacy ourselves that inspires another to do their best in the effort to have a better life, to test their potential, to make a better world. I want to make good on those challenges, those opportunities. My sincere sympathies to the Jobs family and his friends and colleagues.
